It is often difficult for individuals with disabilities to learn to speak up for themselves and become their own self‐advocates.

Often, individuals and agencies that support people with disabilities assume that they know what is best for people with disabilities without allowing them to have their own voice to express their personal interests, needs, and desires.

TASA aims to provide individuals with disabilities the tools, resources, and support they need to increase their ability to become self‐advocates for themselves and the disability community.
